I think that's it's fantastic that we've found water on the moon and we lived in the Star Trek universe, I'd be hopping up and down with excitment at the thought of potential uses for the betterment of the people of Earth. Unfortunately, we live in the real world where we have war, disease, poverty and above all greed. My biggest fear is that, as with Alaska, we have discovered a new untapped natural resource to be exploited, used and eventually spoiled. The only thing saving it right now is its distance and the difficulty in tapping it. Otherwise I think that the governments and corporations of the world would be screaming "drill baby drill". <strong>Remember</strong>, there is no indigenous people up there, so whoever gets there first can stake a legal claim for it back here).

Maybe the 7th Apollo landing will be near the south pole where the water was found and astronauts can bring back evidence of organisms that can live in the frozen waters. Polar bears, perhaps? :) Great cartoon, Pat.

That way we can have solar energy 24/7. In the day time we collect the energy from sunshine and at night we collect it from the dark. And both sunshine and darkness are ample for our needs. Burt if that doesn't work out we can extract Deuterium from the oceans. I like the collectors that work in the dark. They collect dark energy. That way we can have solar energy 24/7.

But I am against switching from one mined resource (fossil fuels) for another (Helium 3 on the Moon) when we have abundant sunshine to convert to energy that doesn't have to be mined. My point was, it could be the energy companies are seeking something else to mine so they can continue to pick our pockets for another 100 years or more.

IF we promote that enough we'll have plenty of greedy fools trying to launch themselves there. They could send the whole DC bubble there to help promote "HOT AIR" as well!
